From traditional Easter egg hunts to pirate fun, a wealth of events are taking place across the region on Easter Monday.

Steve Weston, forecaster at UEA-based Weatherquest, said: 'Sunday doesn't look a particularly good day, but Monday should be better – maybe a shower but nothing like as heavy as Sunday.'
